And while many of the people he mentioned were fans of Kai Cenat, he pointed out that the new biggest Twitch streamer has IronMouse publicly defended on several occasions, crediting her for standing up to her viewers and urging them to stop harassing her.

“I’m not entirely sure when this happened online, but I feel like (people think) it’s okay to blindly mock or hate something that we don’t understand or we haven’t learned anything,” he said. “As a creator, I would be embarrassed if I saw my viewers blindly hating someone else using my name. I would be mortified.

He also pointed out that IronMouse has been entirely “bullied” on platforms like TikTok, and that it’s not an experience that’s entirely unique to him. Several other VTubers have faced this form of discrimination.

“Mouse, and I assume most VTubers, have had to deal with insult after insult that is normalized,” he explained, noting that IronMouse in particular has been hit the hardest by it.

Every achievement she has achieved and every award she has won has been accompanied by a wave of vitriol and hatred from others, much of it based on the fact that she is a VTuber according to CDawgVA.

“This has led to a constant, constant – and I cannot stress this enough – constantstream of hate now that Mouse has had to face openly, on all his social media, for years,” Connor explained.

Connor concluded by saying that he had no interest in making the video beyond just wanting to defend his friend, but that he hopes that shedding light on the subject can help prevent IronMouse and other VTubers from receive “blind hatred”.
